Throwing Georgie under the Bus

[deadbeater]

Ya rly. Saddam basically obeyed the UN sanctions years before the invasion ago by destroying and or burying his WMD program to the point of uselessness.

The ultimate reasons to invade Iraq were:
1) oil, as confirmed by McCain in a recent speech, only problem is that oil became a lot more expensive at the dealer end; Bush even couldn't hold down the price of oil;
2) revenge: W(the son) heard of arrests made on an assassination attempt on Sr.(the father) in Kuwait years back. W also heard of Iraqi connections to the assassination attempt. W wanted so badly to attack Saddam to avenge his father.

If he said those two reasons, his justification to invade Iraq might be slightly more credible, though insufficient to the UNand others. Then W heard from agents from Iran (Chalabi) about Iraq's bogus WMD program. After W prepped McClellan and Powell with the sexed-up reports, the rest is history.

Oh by the way, former exiles from Iraq hanged Saddam, not 'his own people'.
